In War Machine writer-director David Michôd (Animal Kingdom) recreates a U.S. General’s roller-coaster rise and fall as part reality, part savage parody – raising the specter of just where the line between them lies today.

Netflix has released a new video that finds General McMahon in the unique position of needing more troops than he’s got.

Inspired by Michael Hastings’ book The Operators: The Wild & Terrifying Inside Story of America’s War in Afghanistan, War Machine ‘recreates a U.S. General’s roller-coaster rise and fall as part reality, part savage parody – raising the specter of just where the line between them lies today.’

Brad Pitt stars as General Glen McMahon, who jumps at the chance to command coalition forces in Afghanistan and is undone by his own hubris.
